<p>Swift 是一种新的编程语言，用于编写 iOS 和 OS X 应用程序。Swift 结合了 C 和 Objective-C 的优点并且不受C的兼容性的限制。Swift 使用安全的编程模式并添加了很多新特性，这将使编程更简单，扩展性更强，也更有趣。除此之外，Swift 还支持人见人爱的 Cocoa 和 Cocoa Touch 框架。拥有了这些特性，Swift将重新定义软件开发。</p>
<p>Swift 的开发从很久之前就开始了。为了给 Swift 打好基础，苹果公司改进了编译器，调试器和框架结构。我们使用自动引用计数（Automatic Reference Counting, ARC）来简化内存管理。我们在 Foundation 和 Cocoa的基础上构建框架栈并将其标准化。Objective-C 本身支持块、集合语法和模块，所以框架可以轻松支持现代编程语言技术。得益于这些基础工作，我们现在可以发布一个新语言，用于未来的苹果软件的开发。</p>
<p>Objective-C 开发者对于 Swift 并不会感到陌生。它采用了 Objective-C 的命名参数以及动态对象模型，可以无缝对接到现有的 Cocoa 框架，并且可以兼容 Objective-C 代码。在此基础之上，Swift 还有许多新特性并且支持过程式编程和面向对象编程。</p>
<p>Swift 对于初学者来说也很友好。它是第一个既满足工业标准又像脚本语言一样充满表现力和趣味的编程语言。它支持代码预览，这个革命性的特性可以允许程序员在不编译和运行应用程序的前提下运行 Swift 代码并实时查看结果。</p>
<p>Swift 将现代编程语言的精华和苹果工程师文化的智慧结合了起来。编译器对性能进行了优化，编程语言对开发进行了优化，两者互不干扰，鱼与熊掌兼得。Swift 即可以用于开发“hello, world”这样的小程序，也可以用于开发一个完整的操作系统。所有的这些特性让 Swift 对于开发者和苹果来说都是一项值得的投资。</p>
<p>用 Swift 编写 iOS 和 OS X 应用将是一场美妙的体验，Swift 之后也会不断开发新特性和兼容性。我们对 Swift 充满信心，你还在等什么！</p>
